R. INKING FORCE- SIDE TO SIDE:
Figure 3.18 - 3.20
As the ink roll moves across the typeface, the
0S-006 spring on the ink roll arm determines the
inking force. The surface of the ink roll must align
parallel to the typeface so all the type is properly
inked. To verify this adjustment, it is necessary to
jog the machine until the ink roll is in contact with the
typeface. (Refer to Part V, this section)
1. With the ink roll in contact with the typeface,
depress the ink roll arm slightly to see if the ink
roll contacts the typeface uniformly.
2. If the ink roll is tipped, align it by slightly
loosening the screw that attaches the cam
follower to the ink roll arm (Figure 3.20).
The screw hole in the cam follower is offset from
center, so as the cam follower is rotated slightly, the
end of the ink roll will move up or down.
3. Position the cam follower so the ink roll is
parallel to the typeface and retighten the screw.
